i am totally going to read the diary of a wimpy kid with you guys this month. i really miss book club. I have joined a few others here and there since I lived in Columbus, but people never seem to pick books I want to read. It seems every book picked in your book club is one I want to read. Thanks for keeping this up and giving me ideas to get me reading.

I guess I hadn't been keeping up on movies lately. I knew Desperaux was a movie, but I didn't know about any of the others except Magic Kingdom (and that because I've been a fan of Brooks since I was a kid and still frequent his author site).

Lightning Thief and Inkheart have been sitting on my shelf since I bought them last year...and they've finally moved up my reading list and will hopefully be read this spring.

Hopefully I can get to some of these others before they turn into movies and taint my opinions. :)

Just finished reading Tale of Despereaux last week... it's amazing and I've decided to make it be the next book for my Literature Lounger's Book Club selection! And I've got Diary of a Wimpy Kid on my TBR list!

What fun books! I have to tell you that I'm worried about the film version of "Coraline." I took my kids to see "Despereaux." They loved it, but the very scary trailer for "Coraline" ran before it, and my 8 year old daughter, who's pretty tough, covered her ears and eyes and put her head on her knees like an air raid whistle went off. Oddly, that kind of made me want to read the book.
